I bet that got your attention and I’m willing to bet that right now most of you think I’ve lost my mind. But hear me out.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger is famously quoted (admittedly back in the 1970s) as saying that he found exercise more exciting and fun than sex! I’ll leave that decision up to you, but there are certainly some great ways to make exercise more fun…
- Change your mindset – when we were children we didn’t exercise, we played. So stop thinking about your exercise routine as hard work and start thinking about it as play. Sound impossible? It’s not. There are some great, fun ways to exercise that actually do feel like play. For example, try a Body Jam class, which combines dance with exercise, and tell me you didn’t have the time of your life when you came out of the class.
- Try a Mind Body Spirit class – imagine ridding yourself of the stresses of your day, relaxing your body so completely that you feel like you’re floating on a cloud and letting your mind drift to a place with no cares, worries or responsibilities.
- Workout with a friend – you can catch up on your day, have a good chat and exercise at the same time!
I’m sure that you can come up with some other fun ways to exercise. Why not make it your goal in 2010 to exercise more and have fun doing it?!
